Blog Tour: Death on the Prairie by Kathleen Ernst

Synopsis:
Chloe Ellefson and her sister, Kari, have long dreamed of visiting each
historic site dedicated to Laura Ingalls Wilder. When Chloe takes
custody of a quilt once owned by the beloved author, the sisters set out
on the trip of a lifetime, hoping to prove that Wilder stitched it
herself.

But death strikes as the journey begins,
and trouble stalks their fellow travelers. Among the “Little House”
devotees are academic critics, greedy collectors, and obsessive fans.
Kari is distracted by family problems, and unexpected news from Chloe’s
boyfriend jeopardizes her own future. As the sisters travel deeper into
Wilder territory, Chloe races to discover the truth about a precious
artifact—and her own heart—before a killer can strike again.

curator who remains passionate about history! In addition to the Chloe
Ellefson Historic Sites series, she has written many books for American

Caroline Abbott. Over 1.5 million copies of Kathleen’s 33 titles have
been sold. The Chloe series has earned a LOVEY Award for Best
Traditional Mystery, and several of her mysteries for young readers have

Either this book is set in a earlier times or is a reprint. I noticed when Chole talks about gas going over a dollar. Plus they are always on pay phones no mention of cell phones.

Chole Ellefson is the main character. She is asked to find out about a quilt of her parents neighbor has inherited. To also decide where the quilt should go after her death. It is supposed to be Laura Ingails family.

Chole is supposed to give a talk at one of the stops of a tour talking about Laura. Chole and her sister loved the books growing up. So Chole invites her sister Kari to go on tour with her. Kari is facing some family problems of her own and jumps at the chance.

Chole's boyfriend Roelke is back at home deciding some big questions himself which could make a difference to Chole. He is a policeman.

Boy is there a lot I did not know about Laura Ingails Wilder and her books. This
sixth book in the Chole Ellefson mystery takes place on a tour following the different sites Laura Ingails lived.

There is lots of problems surrounding the tour. deaths, thefts, abuse something happens at each stop.

This is the first book that I have read of Kathleen Ernst. I would not mind reading more of her work. I also feel like going back and rereading Little House on the Prairie.

I was given this ebook to read by Net Galley and Midnight Ink. In return I agreed to give a honest review and be part of its blog tour.
